Wheel Bearing Play





1. Jack up the rear of the vehicle and support it with safety stands.
2. Check that there is no abnormal noise and that the tire rotates smoothly when rotated by hand.





3. After removing the wheel, remove the brake caliper assembly, and suspend it with a rope.





4. Attach a dial gauge to the wheel hub. Then push and pull the wheel hub by hand in the axial direction, and measure the bearing play of the wheel bearing.
If the bearing play exceeds the specification, replace the wheel bearing.

Maximum wheel bearing play: 0.1 mm (0.004 in)
